No ATX socket on MOBO

[cummy]

I purchased a mini itx fuzzy series (609-9802-040) with a VIA processor. The image that the seller had on the website indicated an atx connection to power the mother board. This connection that actually came with the mobo only has a 4 pin connection and the manual does not have any information on how to connect power to the board with just 4 pins. I had planned to make this a car computer and now I am unaware of the type of power supply that would be useful for this motherboard. All the power supplies that I know utilize 20 pins for the.

I hope that someone can give me some information on how to get this board juiced up. Remember it is for a car so no fancy 600w oversized desktop power supply .

Thanks

plug it into your car... but for real... this model isn't for sale anymore and is also known as MS-9802 there seems to be more than one version... but i can't even find a manual for it because MSI took it off their website... but all the ones I see online have the 20 pin

does it have a laptop style power supply plug on the motherboard near the rest of the inputs??

Do not wire it up directly to the vehicle's electrical system. You'll risk burning out the 609-9802-040 because the vehicle's electrical system's voltage is not regulated tightly enough.

There are at least six models MSI Fuzzy CX700/CX700D:

Models 609-9802-010, 609-9802-030 and 609-9802-050 are the only boards with the 20-pin ATX power connector.

Models 609-9802-020, 609-9802-040 and 609-9802-060 have the 4-pin (2x2) P4 power connector.

You'll still need to power a storage device like an SSD or HDD for the 609-9802-040 to be useful.

Check here for a Vehicle DC-DC Power Supply:

I made a check at mini box but there is no power supply for a 4pin. I just realized that there is a p4 connector also, would that be enough to power the board? Even so where would power come from for the attached devices such as HD DVD etc?
BTW I choose they board because I didn't want to spend a lot on a car pc especially if - might have problems, like now .
@slhpss no laptop like connections that would be at least useful. And I'm coming up with nothing online. Bummer !

I see everything there at http://www.mini-itx.com/store/psu that would make your 609-9802-040 work.

M3-ATX PicoPSU Form-Factor 125W Intelligent Wide Input 6-24V Vehicle DC-DC Power Supply

*Note: If your board has a 4 pin 12V P4 power connector, you will need add a Molex to 12V P4 Power Cable.

@ko888 thanks for the info but all of the power supplies I saw supports either a 20 pin or 24 pin atx socket. I can't reason out the way to make the power supply work how it should without being connected to an atx socket.
I'm learning about bridging the pins in a power supply to make it always on but I'm not sure it's safe.

Thanks guys, as it turns out the person that supplied me with the mother board made a mistake and is willing to help me with this problem if he can. he is searching for a power supply now, if it can work great. If it can't then more expense with shipping back the item and getting a new one.
